After digging out my old high-end-at-the-time Sony DV camcorder, I took some film of yesterdays track event; then last night I installed a video editing program, and “played” for an hour or so to put together a short (3 minute) clip.
And thanks to MINI for the music 🙂
Today I headed out (late!) to meet a group of MINIs for breakfast at IHOP, followed by a rather interesting drive through Boston and down to F1 Boston, a karting facility. Unfortunately the day started badly, with someone breaking in to Dave’s truck during breakfast; we also saw a major accident just inches from us, with an SUV pulling across traffic in front of a car! but thankfully the various incidents on the karting track were much less serious …
I chose not to ride the karts (they look quite small ;)) so I did video & photography instead, but it turns out the lighting is not great and the kart speeds are quite fast, so I’ve got a lot of photos of colored streaks!
Over the weekend I drove down to George & Jaynes on LI, to visit them and to see George’s latest purchase – his third GP! With Jaynes ’03 MCS and my GPMINI, we had five MINIs in their driveway:
In addition to taking loads of GP photos (!) we enjoyed a great greek dinner at their local, incredibly busy, mall; with fabulous ice cream dessert from Cold Stone Originals (totally recommended … and apparently there’s one nearby in Charlestown :))
This morning we again had great weather for December, with sun & temps in the mid 40s … George decided that GPMINI needed a wash! The results were excellent, of course:
A great visit with great friends – thanks George & Jayne! Hope to see you again soon …
